Sir Lindsay’s cameo on Monday sees him enter the fictional Yorkshire village’s Hide Bar & Bistro in a tweed jacket and wellies as a Lancastrian rambler, and compliment Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) on her Yorkshire tea after ordering it. He said: “Incredibly, Emmerdale has been on our screens for more than half a century – shining a light on the lived experience of others; entertaining viewers with its hard-hitting storylines, while also making a major economic contribution to the North. “It has been an honour to help the cast celebrate the 10,000th episode of this enduring Yorkshire-based soap, with a visit to the Woolpack.

He was gifted wellies and met the cast, with ITV saying “with the magic of post-production Sir Lindsay was back in the Hop (Hawksford Outdoor Pursuits) in the relevant time and making his order, for posterity”. Hop is co-owned by Laurel and has the Hide Bar & Bistro on its premises. (function (d, s, n) { var js, fjs.
